Yeah, indeed. They should make a movie about them lol.
Could be. I guess there are legal hurdles preventing Sony from using SM in their Venom-verse. There were hints in previous movies, but I guess Disney doesn't like the idea.
It must be the deal with Disney Marvel that prevents SM from showing up in their Venom-verse. Sony could do so much better.
You're talking about Kraven? ok, your answer makes sense then. Thought you were answering my SM question.
Oh, we're playing the random words game. My turn then:
Cryptic. Negotiations.
On a serious note, care to elaborate what you mean?
"We'll treat you so much better than those shitfucks down the street."
That scene was just epic. Not just because of Cavill, but also the way Deadpool delivered his lines "..this just feels right" lol.
Cavillrine just needs to happen.
Already watched WoW several times, great movie. Looking forward to the next entry.
Anyway, I'm 100% sure that Quaritch will at one point fight alongside Sully, only to sacrifice and redeem himself at a crucial moment, maybe to save Spider or Sully's kids.
I always thought there's transporter, replicator, artificial gravity and hologram tech involved. Didn't B'elanna Torres skydive in one episode with safety protocols turned off? She must "fall" in order to feel the acceleration towards the ground. Such a free fall scenario is a complicated environment to reproduce, but could be achieved using a combination of all technologies combined.
That makes sense. đ
I stopped watching after s3. For me, the best that came out of DSC was Pike, Spock and Cpt. Lorca from season 1.
Here's a 50 sec clip of that scene:

They couldn't make it more obvious.
Various writers, maybe, but Gene Roddenberry had specific guidelines for Star Trek.
I highly doubt the current producers and writers of ST have ever heard of them. Didn't DSC writers name a janitor in DSC season 3 "Gene"?
Again, Picard is not immortal in his new body:

<blockquote>
How long will Picard live?
... This android body is not immortal, and Jurati says that the new body will give Jean-Luc âabout the same number of years that he would have expected.â</blockquote>
I enjoyed "Transcendence" with Johnny Depp, as well as the novel "Press Send" on the same topic that I read years ago, but this body switch didnât contribute anything to Picard's character and was totally unnecessary. Even Patrick Stewart didn't know about Picard's fate up until late into the season.
I totally agree, no other ST show or season produced in recent years comes close.
Personally, I was never a fan of Spockâs resurrection in ST:III, but at least heâs an alien.
Also, not all of our cells and organs renew 100% throughout life. Different articles provide different information on that topic.
But back to Picard; in my opinion, the writers of the first two seasons are incapable of writing good science-fiction stories. Turning Picard into a robot was just the result of that.
Picardâs robot body has a built-in lifespan; heâs going to die even as a robot. You must have missed that part.
See, you try so hard to explain the writersâ decision to turn him into a robot using generalizations and science. Suppose a scientist were to turn your pet or even a loved one into a robot, just like Picardâs. Would you still say âatoms = Play-dohâ?
I donât believe in a soul (or anything supernatural for that matter), yet I couldnât simply say âok, whatever, weâre all just energy anywayâ and move on, even if itâs just a fictional character from a show I enjoyed watching while growing up. If you can, then kudos to you, I guess.
Seems like different writers had different interpretations of how transporters work throughout the years.
There was this DS9 episode, where, as a result of a power outage, some crew members were trapped inside the transporter buffer and appeared as characters in a holodeck program. In other words, they were bits inside the memory of the transporter. That's also why they couldn't reboot the station computers to solve the problem the power outage created.
But then, there was the TNG episode where Barclay was seeing creatures inside the matter stream and could even grab them.
In-universe, a possible explanation would be that there are different transporter models; some of them kill off the original and create a copy, whereas other models use a matter stream.
In reality, I think the writers and creators of ST simply thought of the transporter as a "magical" device that simply sends the person or object to the destination without killing them off or creating a copy. After all, beaming was only introduced to keep production costs low; "beaming down to a planet" was way cheaper than creating special effects of a landing shuttlepod.
Either way, there was no good reason for turning Picard into a robot.
IIRC, the Star Trek writers thought of the beaming process as a âmatter streamâ, primarily to avoid dealing with questions such as âwhat happens to the soul?â. In other words, in Star Trek, the transported person is not copied to the destination, but rather, transported via a matter stream.
But then, there is Thomas Riker (among other incidents). The transporter tech is inconsistent in how it works.
Turning Picard into a robot did not add anything to his character or story. It was a decision made by incompetent writers who just donât care.
Question is, what's holding them back from bringing back Garfield or Maguire, or even a new actor, and continue with the Venom-verse parallel to the MCU?
That's because Joss Whedon knows how to make superhero movies, Snyder does not. It's not Cavill's fault.
